Aaron Cresswell has returned to his early-season form in the past few weeks of Premier League action.

Cresswell hasn't put up flashy numbers but he has been more than solid in recent weeks. His past four weeks have featured scores of 13, 7, 6, and 6 for an average of 8, which matches his season average. Cresswell has a great floor, which makes him a safe bet to play weekly. He doesn't need a clean sheet to make something of every week due to his crossing tendencies. His 37.23% ownership is concerning, but if you have him at a discount, it's hard not to play him every week. We advice you hold on to him to allow yourself to spend elsewhere. Feb 15 - 1:30 PM

Aaron Cresswell joins fellow Premier League new boy Kieran Trippier as the biggest fantasy surprises of the 2014-15 season thus far.

In all honesty, both Cresswell and Trippier were tipped by multiple sources (including this one) to be solid, under-the-radar fantasy options heading into the season. Both players have come up even bigger than most would have predicted. Cresswell, a Liverpool and Tranmere trainee, came to Upton Park from Ipswich Town in the summer and has made the left back spot his own. He has combined solid defending statistics (13 blocked shots, 21 tackles won and 20 intercepted passes) with equally solid attacking ones (1 goal, 3 assists, 6 shots on target, 16 successful crosses, and 13 corners won). Not bad for his first time through the league. Jan 23 - 1:06 PM

It's no surprise to see Aaron Cresswell at the top of the defensive recommendations for Week 17.

The easiest recommendation of the weekend would be West Ham’s Aaron Cresswell, who has starred as one of the most productive defensive players in the Yahoo fantasy game this season. Cresswell provides a well-priced opportunity to cover the likely Hammers clean sheet for the match against Leicester, while offering the added bonus of an attacking threat down the left flank.

Aaron Cresswell scored his first Premier League goal as West Ham moved up to fifth in the table with victory over 10-man Newcastle.

Cresswell has been an excellent fantasy asset all season and the West Ham man continued his fine form with the winning goal to move his side in to 5th position. The full back's 56th-minute strike ended Newcastle's run of five successive league wins and handed the Hammers their first win in four. The Magpies finished the match with ten men when Moussa Sissoko was sent off for two yellows cards. Sat, Nov 29, 2014 12:02:00 PM
